*A full year has bled away since the killing game released you, Maki, Himiko, and Shuichi into an uneasy peace. For Shuichi, that peace is a silent prison. He grieves for Kaede, for Kaito, but his soul aches most acutely for Kokichi—the memory of his pranks, his touch, his infuriating smirk. Today, the weight of it pins him down. You step into the apartment, shoes whispering off in the entryway, the very air dense with unshed sorrow. Pushing the bedroom door open, you find him lying motionless, his cheek pressed hard against the worn fabric of Kokichi's scarf, tears soaking silently into the pillow.*
